The amount of people commenting that this or that type of mouse is better are not really getting it. You don't use this INSTEAD of a mouse - you use it WITH a mouse; using the 3D controller with the left hand and your mouse with the right as usual. Stops you needing to use the scroll wheel on your mouse to zoom and pan about within the drawing. Also, once the buttons are set up as you want, it reduces the need to move your hands to the keyboard. Had an old Space Explorer until it stopped working with Windows 10 and recently got a SpaceMouse Pro from Ebay (a lot cheaper!). Awesome piece of kit, but I agree that it takes some getting used to.
@@MassimoMerolla-mm4rf mouse wheels are okay but the constant rolling up and down can lead to strain. Particularly if, like me, you suffer from RSI. The 'puck' used to zoom on the 3D controller is far more intuitive, much quicker and can be used in unison with another command. I've been using one for many years now and I wouldn't be without it.
@@Crystal101-j5e Mouse choice largely depends what works for you. I did try a few different ones and settled on a Logitech MX Master. I couldn't get on with the trackball mice or the vertical ones. The zoom facility on the 3D Controller is a different experience entirely to a scroll wheel.
Never managed to do the transit, so many of my short cuts are macroed into my. Mice with keyboard combos... So, hard to change again after so many years
I have the same model shown in the demo, and it took less than a week to get used to but, i feel naked without it, after about 3 years of using one. 10/10 would recommend.
I left mine at work once and my coworkers the next day were mind-blown zooming in and out of all my models although they didn’t have the magic touch so things kept flying everywhere 🤣
personally I found it very very hard to get used to, it definitely takes alot of practice after you tweak few settings like some axis inverts, sensitivity
Got the enterprise edition a year ago, prohibited myself from touching the keyboard till I got the hung of it. Still can't compete with how fast you can get things done with a keyboard.

Well I have using 3D mouse at my office. It is useful for viewing big assemblies in visualization software. I generally use to view and understand when I open the entire tractor assembly which we call E BOM on NX visualization it is faster and easier to zoom and rotate things easily but while modeling I prefer my traditional mouse.
Myself and several of my coworkers just got a bunch of these, and while there is certainly a learning curve, it is AMAZING once you get used to it. Two of my coworkers don’t really use them, since they never got the hang of it, and are comfortable with standard pan/tilt controls. I took about an hour to start to get a feel for it, and can now confidently use it. It’s probably not technically much faster than a keyboard and mouse in Fusion 360, but it is SO much more fun, and DEFINITELY makes CAD more enjoyable and intuitive. Maybe not an absolute necessity for mechanical design, but I imagine this would be a game-changer for more artistic applications such as 3D animation.
Or you just become a master at spinning the part with the middle-mouse button really quickly or just barely and are able to view the object in your head in different orientations and have your fingers in an almost gamer setup, palm on the CTRL key, pinky on the Shift and other fingers ready to hit hot keys.
Made 16 hot keys with crtl and shift and enter and esc on the mouse on the left part of keyboard. Only numeric on the left side would need to be added. Lightning fast work.
I have three fingers on my keyboard Shift + MB = rotate Ctrl + MB = zoom in and out (the scroll in my mouse lags like crazy) S = SW shortcut key MB = move around
Not just CAD. Its great in Unreal and blendwr but also iclone where they have mapped the keys to their animation tools and i wish more thought like reallusion.
Yeah... I wouldn't ever pay the 2k they cost. Yet I do use it (I made my own with a cheap knockoff arduino, some joysticks, and some "broken hopes and dreams" powder, aka: so much work I almost fell into depresion again)
yeah, if you are working on one model whole month-maybe, if you are producing like 20 a day, waste of time. Macros, tons of shortcuts and workflow. That's all you need. And let's be clear: some of the enterprise features are not working in Solidworks, buttons are positioned in weird way, no lighting on pad, no sketch commands on function keys. Waste of money
Screw this thing. Bought one and it started moving my model when I wasnt touching it and deleting and overwriting changes. Took a good while to figure out it was all because of the fancy new tool I just got.
You know it's completely useless when every other job sector that utilizes 3d viewports don't use interfaces like this. They simply use a mouse/pen and a keyboard
@@mattmurphy7030 idk man, can you really make the argument that working on large assemblies is a real job, but working on a multi billion dollar industry where you need to manage millions of moving parts simultaneously isnt?
I see lots of videos of people spinning and panning... usually right off the screen. But never someone using one of these to actually get work done faster. Can anyone point me to a video of someone actually getting work done more efficiently?
I work as a mechanical designer since 2011 and don't need your overpriced toys. I get everything done perfectly fine without. Had one of your mouses once and disliked it a lot. Gabe it to a college who doesn't use it as well.

What is that keyboard/mouse called ?
3dconnection space
my dad has a 360 spaceball mouse from 1999, not really a new thing and not really a need but is cool.
I had Spaceorb 360 in 1996. Fine with Autocad , 3dsmax and ray tracing.
It depends on what you are doing for your living if you need one or not.
1999 was 40 years ago.
@@nihilisticpancake308 try 25 years ago, your not cute and that's not funny anymore

And have a fracture due to repetitive movement

@@WiinoGPYou’re not going to fracture your fuckin fingers because you press a keyboard key over and over.
I have three fingers on my keyboard
Shift + MB = rotate
Ctrl + MB = zoom in and out (the scroll in my mouse lags like crazy)
S = SW shortcut key
MB = move around
it's the 3Dconnexion SpaceMouse Enterprise

I used for work, fantastic
The space mouse is heaven sent for sure
this 3D connexion is useful , but costly as well for individuals, you can configure a simple joystick as a alternative for 3D and CAD works
I used one for some week but get too frustrated to not being able to control the center of rotation for examination.
What is it?
over priced is what it is
Expensive mouse
It's overpriced trash
its a 3D connexion, to zoom rotate drag a part without mouse
@@robrifttrash if you're poor. Genius if you have a decent job
I got this on my workstation!😂 This device kinda funny
Yeah... I wouldn't ever pay the 2k they cost.
Yet I do use it (I made my own with a cheap knockoff arduino, some joysticks, and some "broken hopes and dreams" powder, aka: so much work I almost fell into depresion again)
Why are getting numbers from your ass? It's not 2k
Develop an etch-a-sketch set up for drawing tool.
I keep tellin' 'em. I turned a few onto it my last contract.
would love to recreate it to a more affordable version tho, just would wanna know is that a rotary encoder, a joystick module or a 5 way hatswitch?
cant draw without mine , feels like ive chopped my left arm off without it
So what’s this model called?
where can i buy this
Wait, do you use this in place of a mouse? Or just for viewing? Ive never used one before!
Can I get a link to purchase
So...... What is it called?
i love mine and im not using a 3d package without this
I dont useitbecause then I would be lost without it. Keyboard and Mouse is everywhere available.
I love my space mouse
What's the name of this device please?

How much it cost?
What kinda salary you making doing this? Thinking of a career switch

Would it be dumb to use it for Blender?
What is the music?!!?
Those things are great once you get used to them.

that is a controller for orientation! funny!
Great for spinning parts and acting like you're busy

Thanks for that. My too smart logitec mouse has started doing something similar.
The only problem is that they are 400 dollars
I can’t get use to mines I’m still using a track ball
Well, what is it so I can buy one 🤣🤣

legends use mouse!
just put it in dominant mode
For me it's cool but not practical.
I use only the turntable view (Z axis always up). It's easier on your brain

I work way faster with mouse and keypad tho. Never seen anybody model faster with these.
Hav you tried the magic track pad for macs? Waaay better than this.

Costs as much as a second low budget PC.
They make an affordable version that's just the mouse without all the buttons. And stop buying garbage tier PCs
Can do same shit with my mouse i can assure you. Also faster.
